This Fruene Chocolate box branding celebrates inspiring women in history. The packaging is conceived by [Tank Design Tromso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tank-series), a Norwegian creative studio that drew inspiration from the Freune name, meaning "The Ladies". What started as a Longyearbyen cafe has become the world's northernmost chocolate brand and its packaging is nothing short of striking.

Blending vintage graphics with matchbox-inspired containers, Freuene's [chocolate box branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godiva-brand-identity) is visually bold. Its white boxes are accented with black type and feature three bold colors that are representative of the chocolatier's different flavors.

This [feminist branding concept celebrates women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-mill-goods) who made history in the world of hunting and trapping. Though considered a male-dominated past-time, the hobby is shown to have many female pioneers, most of who are featured on Fruene Chocolate's candy boxes.
